I was one of the few that were there. The saddest thing about it to me was that night there was a HS playoff game which I think was a Mass./McK. rematch with probably 40K (really) in attendance, that is, after they got through the stand-still traffic jam on I-77.I didn't make it to the Leftwich/Marshall games but I was there for Alcorn's kick to beat Toledo so that was probably my best recollection. One of the early Faust games featured the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders at halftime so that wasn't bad either I don't know what they'll do with the RB but I think it's for real that they'll have to leave the east side stands and closed-end intact as a retaining wall, maybe dress it up with decorative stone or something. It would be cool to leave the big RUBBER BOWL lettering up there as a monument. The west side and press box should come down but possibly the field itself could be preserved and used for soccer, basketball courts, etc. A skate park isn't a bad idea either or is there already one over there next to the BMX trails?Oh well, there's still a couple years to figure it out and the Zips need to make a few more good memories there in the meantime. I think before the final game they should have an open house and let everyone go into the press box, locker rooms, etc.

Wayne Anderson was an excellent nose guard and I liked Harold Robinson as a WR/KR, always a threat to run back a kick all the way. I would give Dwight Smith the benefit of the doubt since he was our only All-American (Phil Dunn was a freshman AA). Bill Rudison could really sail his punts, he was fun to watch in pre-game warmups. Darren Alcorn was drafted as Mr. Irrelevant (last pick) but it's pretty tough to get a kicking job in the NFL since the good ones stick around for so long. I remember Shannon Wolfe getting beat on a long pass, never even looking back for the ball, then picking himself up off the ground, looking to the coaches and throwing his hands up in the air in frustration...I was never too impressed with him after that.

No need to investigate, there was no malfunction...I'm just going with a different ID to avoid confusion with someone else who chose an ID similar to my old one. I guess it's bound to happen when the total member count gets up to 2200+ but it was time for a change anyway.Just curious, will there be a new look or new features with the upgrade or is it more of a maintenance thing?

How long does new member probation last? I am actually an existing member re-registering under my other alias since someone co-opted (with punctuation changes) my original Zipsnation user ID.Thanks...

If Strickland wants to shutter grad programs to further subsidize undergrad tuition then so be it, but do it fairly and evenly across the system, including Tosu. The spiel about Ohio State being founded as the "flagship" for a statewide system is completely fabricated...it was established as a land grant agricultural/mechanical college, nothing more.http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/entry.php?rec=785
